SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN by ANONYMOUS

First Line: I WAS AFRAID THE RECTOR / WOULD GO TO LAW
Last Line: HE DIDN'T DARE / TAKE THE MONEY
Subject(s): DEBT;
I was afraid the rector
Would go to law
About that $490 I owed him,
But when I offered to pay it in several installments
Of seven dollars each
He didn't dare
Take the money.
